HUNGARY UNDER RED RUIE IS AN IMPRISONED, WILTED FLOWER .| showing good designs on once fash-|on Friday, and churches are fall- There Will Always Be An Budapest Once By TOM HORGAN The England, commanded by Lt BOSTON ‘#—From Adm. Ernest King, in Washington, came the message: ‘There'll always be an England in the United States Navy.” His accolgde capped one of the great exploits of World War Il— the tale of an American destroyer- eseort named England which sank six Japanése submarines in 12 days. : {- This spectacular antisubmarine } action is described in detail for the first time in Rear Adm, Sam- uel Eliot Morison’s eighth volume { of his World War II naval history, | published tomorrow. It also contains a thrilling ac- count of the fabulous Mariana tur- key shoot. In two days, the Jap- | anese lost 476 planes and 445 avi- ators; the United States, 130 planes 76 fliers. “New Guinea and the Moria (Atlantic - Little Brown & Co.), it covers the fury of the war in the Pacific from March to ( August, 1944. The Harvard history professor terms these ‘“‘the most eventful months of the Pacific war.” 4 an interview, Morison took a look ahead toward the end of 14-volume project when he said of an hostilities: “Gen. Bradley said at the end of the war there would be no moré amphibious operations (but) | landing was the most brilliant operation in this one.” said he was able to veri- fy the England’s performance part- ting defeat,” he re as curious to comdr.

Morisen agr the Japanese that a factor in debacle was the inexperience of their pilots. Morison, who witnessed much of the action described in the vol- ume from the bridge of the cruiser Honolulu, never disguises his ad- miration for the Marines, So his tribute to the Army’s 77th Division in the recapture of Guam is about as high as he can go: “They were as good as Marines,” The historian records the c of Tinian by the Marines as Perfect amphibious operation eir Morison says if there is a lesson | in Volume VIII it is “the superior | mobility and striking power of task forces.” Zookeeper Retires DENVER (#—After service as Denver 17 years zookeeper | George H.

Douglass Is No. 1 Dissenter On Supreme Court By PAUL M, YOST WASHINGTON — The new champion dissenter of the Supreme Court is Justice Douglas, the jurist who got into the international spot- light most recently by granting a last-minute stay in the Rosenberg spy case, Official figures release? today show Douglas wrote 35 dissenting | opinions in the court’s regular and | special terms just ended. He also |cast 19 dissenting votes without {writing explanatory opinions. This gave him a total of 54 dis- \sents for the nine months of court sessions—a one-year total of pro- | testing votes greater than ever be- fore recorded by a justice in the court’s long history. Douglas dissented in almost half of the 114 cases decided with formal opinions in the 1952-53 terms, While he turned out the 35 dissenting opinions, he also wrote 12 majority opinions for the court. Douglas had a dissent score of 53 at the close of the court’s Tegular term on June 15. Then he granted the stay of execution to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, result- ing in the tribunal’s special term last week. When the court voted to override the stay, Douglas wrote another dissent and reached the peak of 54. Nearest approach occurred in the court’s 1944-45 term when Jus- tice Owen J. Roberis cast 51 dis- senting votes. An appointee of President Herbert Hoover in 1930, Roberts retired at the end of the 1944-45 term, Runners-up to Douglas are Black, with 43 dissents; Frank- furter, with 32; and Jackson, with | is 20, Justice Clark was low with only six opposition votes. In the 1951-52 term the leading dissenters were Black 37, Douglas 33, Reed 24 and Frankfurter 20. In 1950-51 the standing was Black 42, Douglas 34, Frankfurter 24, Jack- son 17, During the terms just ended, 208 dissenting votes were cast in the decision of 114 cases, For 1951-52 the comparable figures were 171 dissents and 107 decisions. The all- time high in dissents occurred in the 1948-49 term, In 114 decisions then, 264 dissents were registered. Here is the record of the court's opinions and dissenting votes for the recent regular and special terms: Columns list majority opinions (MO), dissenting opinions (D), dis- senting votes in addition to those listed under dissenting opinions (DV) and total dissents (TD), Vinson 3°15 Black . 2 Reed 1 Frankfurter 16 Douglas 19 Jackson 1 Burton 10 Clark 4 Minton 8 Totals us Per curiam Opinions 10 Total Majority opinions 114 Johns Hopkins Needs Fireflies BALTIMORE (#—Johns Hopkins scientists have issued their annual | call for fireflies.

For years now, university re- searchers have been trying to learn what makes the glow worm glow, and how he turns his light on and off. They need a lot of bugs for the study. The 1953 goal is one mil- lion. Last year only 300,000 were corraled in a poor season. The youngster catching the most gets a $10 prize. The runner-up receives $5. Dr. William D. McElroy, direc- tor of the project, says research so far indicates the vitamins need- ed to make the firefly light up are the same as those used by ani- ~mals to free energy for work. The glow probably results from release | of five active compounds by a “very potent” enzyme, he says. IT RAINED IN | Children’s TOYS COME TO THE TROPICAL TRADER |] 718 Devel St. Dial 2-0262 Queen Of Eastern Europe Is Shabby And Depressed (Editor’s Note: Richard O’Regan Associated press bureau chief in Vienna, has just returned from a visit to Hungary—the first by a group of Western newsmen since 1950, This is one of several stories on his impressions of that Commu- nist country.) By RICHARD O‘REGAN | BUDAPEST, Hungary u—Hun-| gary, five years after a coup d’etat | brought communism to power, is a | flower among Russia’s dreary East | European satellites—but a flower imprisoned and wilting rapidly. Its jailers are 25,000 rarely seen | Russian troops and the all-power- ful Hungarian Communist leaders | who drive huge, curtained black | Zis sedans. Prisoners are more than 90 per cent of nine million Hungarians who appear to have just enough to eat, but have neither the time nor the cash nor the inclination to seek | even the small happinesses of civ-| ilized life. } Budapest, once the queen of | Eastern Europe, today is almost as | shabby and depressing as the cities of postwar Germany. Gone are the smart Paris-style salons of Vaci Utea, gone are most of the leis- urely sidewalk cafes of the Danube embankment, and gone are the groomed Magyar women who gave | Budapest more beauty per square | mile than any city in Europe. | Suppressed, too, «re Budapest's traditional gaiety, its carefree love | of life and the wealth and culture that still in 1948 had survived the pre-Communist destruction of Hun- gary’s ancient agricultural feudal- m. In their place, the Communists have shuttered thousands of shops, ripped off the names of their own- ers, and replaced them with state stores whose poor quality goods are out of reach for virtually every one but the new upper and middie classes of communism. Hotels are deserted except for visiting Communist dignitaries and the heroes and officials of the new state. And over the entire new society, Hungarian communism has im- posed the grim conformity of Bol- shevist dress and the dusty, grey drabness of industrial overcrowd- ing. To American correspondents vis- iting Budapest from Vienna, the Hungarian capital is depressing. But it is said to be a dreamland compared with Prague, Warsaw, Bucharest and Sofia. It has the atmosphere of war, without the urgency or the spirit. Uniforms are as numerous and as varied as New York or London in 1943. Truckloads of soldiers, singing | jin the Russian style, roar through | | the streets at night. Women police, | in untidy blue and white uniforms, control the women drivers of de- crepit 1933 Skoda taxis and the traffic of the state-owned, Russian- built Pobedas and Zis automobiles of government officials, engineers and doctors. Brown uniforms of the military branch of the AVH—the secret police~mingle with blue-clad civil police, uniforms of the militarily organized postal officials, and the | uniformed technical students of the | Disz youth organizations. | There is hurried construction of | buildings meant to house the instru- | ments of Communist power, but cracked streets and sidewalks re- main unrepaired and unswept. Of new developments, outstand- jing are the two-block-square com- plex of the Hungarian Defense Min- istry and the ninestory dazzlingly white headquarters of the AVH. ‘The AVH's uncounted and dread- ed agents cause Hungary's millions to cast frequent cautious glances over their shoulders and curb their critical tongues. They are so many, | American correspondents detected them frequently ind girls in night | clubs openly admitted they worked for the police, | The pleasures of a restricted night life in Budapest are not for | the mass of Hungarians. A meal |for two with wine in a restaurant with music costs an average office employe four day's work.

KIRKMAN OF THE STATE HIGHWAY PATROL And that gives us an extra good reason for better and more careful drivers during the Spring Summer months, if for no other reason, said Kirkman, Continuing his appeal for the new Spring effort of the motorist, Kirkman said: “Children, unlike flow. ers, don’t always stay put, so that is why the motorist can expect—and neariy always get—the unexpected from our children.” Pretty soon now school will be out for the Sum- mer, and extra precautions should be taken to scte- d the children who will be darting unexpectedly behind “almost everything” and right into the path of your auto, Kirkman declared. Here are a few tips the m profitably heed: 1.—Be on the clert in zones where children are expected to be at play. 2.—Be « two-purpose driver and watch where your own vehicle is going while a sharp eye out for the kids riding bicycles, or skating. 3.--Give the kids a “brake” and the temptation to honk your horn.
